About This Home

As of May 2025

Tucked into the tranquil eastern edge of Berkeley lies Park Hills, a charming neighborhood developed in the 1940s and ’50s. Surrounded by community green spaces and scenic trails, this area feels worlds away—yet remains just minutes from the city. 5 The Crescent is a beguiling example of the neighborhood’s charm. Set on a generous lot, this 4-bedroom, 3.5-bath home has been owned by the same family for generations. It’s easy to see why they stayed: the setting is serene, the location coveted. The home’s dignified entryway welcomes you with timeless curb appeal. Inside, original hardwood floors, vintage details, and abundant natural light create an atmosphere that is both gracious and warm. The grand living room is comfortably elegant—featuring a central fireplace and decks on either side. The formal dining room offers picturesque views of the backyard and treescape beyond. The kitchen and sunny breakfast nook present an exciting opportunity to design your dream kitchen, with direct access to a level yard complete with built-in sink and grill area—perfect for summer barbecues and al fresco dining. Upstairs, you'll find three spacious bedrooms and two full baths, including a primary suite with a vintage dressing room and en suite bath.
